Which is hotter, Canopus or Vega? How much brighter?

1 answer:

4 0

Temperature determines the hotness or coldness. The surface temperature of Canopus is 7350 K. The surface temperature of Vega is 9602 K. Because the surface temperature of Vega is greater than Canopus, Vega is hotter.

Brightness is determined by the star's magnitude. The apparent magnitude of Canopus is (-0.72) and that of Vega is (0.03). we know that, lesser the magnitude, brighter is the star. Hence, Canopus is brighter.

Vega is hotter but Canopus is brighter. This is because, brightness depends on the star's distance and size of the star as well other than the factor temperature.

Bits of paper are attracted to an electrified comb or rod, even though they have nonet charge. How is this possible?

SashulF [63]

Explanation:

An electrified comb is charged comb ( let say by running it through the hair) and when it is brought in the proximity of pieces of paper, the pieces tend to cling to it. This happens because the charged comb induces an opposite charge in the paper pieces and as opposite charges attract each other, the pieces are clinged.

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

With more particles there will be more collisions and so a greater pressure. The number of particles is proportional to pressure, if the volume of the container and the temperature remain constant. ... This happens when the temperature is increased.

A 11.0 kg satellite has a circular orbit with a period of 1.80 h and a radius of 7.50 × 106 m around a planet of unknown mass. I

Answer:

Explanation:

Expression for times period of a satellite can be given as follows

Time period T = 1.8 x 60 x 60

= 6480

T² = $\frac{4\times \pi^2\times r^3}{GM}$ where T is time period , r is radius of orbit , G is gravitational constant and M is mass of the satellite.

6480² = 4 x 3.14² x 7.5³ x 10¹⁸ / GM

GM = 4 x 3.14² x 7.5³ x 10¹⁸ / 6480²

= 3.96 X 10¹⁴

Expression for acceleration due to gravity

g = GM / R² where R is radius of satellite

20 = 3.96 X 10¹⁴ / R²

R² = 3.96 X 10¹⁴ / 20

= 1.98 x 10¹³ m

R= 4.45 x 10⁶ m
